New Orleans Hostel - Marquette House Reviews

I loved this place. Is it the cleanest? No. Is it the most glamorous? No. But what it lacks in class it makes up for in character. The main courtyard is so welcoming, and it facilitates fun. And all the sketchy characters? They're actually so nice. I loved this place and felt at home. Prices were jacked up for Mardi Gras, but the prices otherwise seem really reasonable. We were in a 14 person dorm but the rooms were sectioned off so it felt private. I love this place and felt at home.

just an average hostel. very expensive over mardi gras though.the location was 1 blovk form the parade but a long way from the french quarter and the water. staff friendly enough, wifi doesnt work in the rooms. its a basic place to stay.

In a 14 girl room, we all had to share one bar of soap to wash our hands. That was kind of gross. Other than, it was exactly what we needed- a place to crash during Mardi Gras!

Pros: great location one block down to view parade on the streets!! has a big yard and tables people can enjoy outside. a big bus map on the wall i can easily find transport info. parade route maps are shown in lobby during carnival time. Cons: no stove in kitchen, dishes often left in sink need to washed and put back to rack, garbage always be filled full in trashcan need to removed soon, no washer in hostel, sink in my bathroom out of order, feels cold in my bedroom, and found a bug there :(

great stay!

The staff here were friendly but hard to find. there was no one attending the office in the middle of the day which was extremely frustrating! the WIFI barely exists, it was only in the office and even then was very hard to connect. there was no indoor communal area to meet others and hang out. the Kitchen was closed over night for too long which meant no late dinner or early breakfasts. the overall cleanliness was poor, the toilet and Kitchen being the worst.

This is the WORST hostel! I was here over a week and the dorms were NEVER cleaned, cockroaches and bedbugs. The mattresses are torn, smelly and stained. The local crew that live there were crude and disrespectful to female travelers and myself. When I complained I was hasseled and disregarded. I was moved to a different dorm so they could bedbug treat the first dorm and the New dorm has a local who lives there and smokes. Plus the beds were shakey and the first bed broke. Itshould be shutdown!

The accomodation here was particularly poor. I was in a small rundown flat that was across the road from the hostel. The pictures on the website did not correspond to the accomodation provided. The door to the bathroom did not close or lock, so there was no way for privacy. The bedroom door off the living area did not close properly either. There were many lights that did not work and the front door security looked like it had been broken into. I left after 1 night after paying for 2.

The room had a weird smell to it. The bathroom in general was dirty and unkept it felt like it belonged in a prison. The staff was rude at some point one pf the staff opened our door while we were sleeping to ask of someone was checkingout. We originally made reservations for four people then told them we had canceled one yet they still billed me for four people instead of the three. I didn't notice until I got home and checked my statement. I called back and were rude and wouldn't refund me.

Stayed in a 3 bed private, very nice patio and atmosphere, but more like a seedy hotel than a typical hostel. Staff was pleasant and accommodating, excellent access to the CBD, French Quarter and Garden District by car or tram, nice to have our own kitchen and bath. Unfortunately overpriced on a peak travel weekend.

The room was ok, but there was no glass in the window, and heater's overuse could be avoided if it was fixed. The internet connection wasn't working. If they would restart router periodically, that could help...

Staff were very friendly. Hostel is conveniently located one block away st charles avenue where you can get the streetcar for $1.25 or $3 for a day pass. Rooms could do with lockers to tighten security. But overall a friendly place with hot showers and a courtyard, not much more you can ask for in a hostel.

So first of all; they have bed bugs!! It's not the cleanest place at all, they don't have any lockers (why I had to carry my laptop with me all the time....) and unfortunately it's not a place that invites people to hang out and meet each other which is really too bad in my opinion. That being said, the beds are comfy, it's quiet and the location near the Garden District is good and close to good dining places. The staff is helpful and friendly, and with the price it's OK, but not more than OK.

It was awesome!

You'll get what you pay for! No too terribly clean but not ridiculously unclean. We did have a roach though.

The entire atmosphere was very shady. Cleanliness makes at the top of the list. I was somehow given a bed in the kitchen. People were throwing things in the kitchen sink. I can't blame them because there was no trash except for a tiny overflowing one in the restroom upstairs. Since I arrived I hard both the restrooms are not working and had to for couple of hours to make them work. The kitchen bedroom has never seen a broom or mop. The downstairs small restroom didn't have any trash.............

Great location 2 blocks from bus/trolley directly to Burbon Street. Hostel was clean and very secure but no lockers or computers (just WiFi). Reliable coffee but I didn't see a kitchen. Worth the cost except it was almost double for New Years Eve and Day. Someone was in the bunk I was assigned so I had to take a top one. I would stay there again.

Had a wonderful time! Great value for the money. Close to a lot of great restaurants and beautiful places. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

A great hostel, best I've stayed in in the US so far. I had read the other reviews on Hostelworld before I came and was a little concerned but I had an amazing time! All the people who are either staying there long term or working there are all very friendly if you take the time to talk to them.

C'est bien placé mais l'ambiance est complètement nulle! Aucun endroit commun pour relaxer ou lire ou partager avec les autres! L'accueil est très froid et peu invitant! Les dortoirs sont propres mais la cuisine est juste horrible !
